While much of the attack action is automated, your success heavily depends on how you handle real-time dodging, elemental strategies, team synergy, and skill management. Whether you’re a newcomer trying to survive Stage 5 or a seasoned player challenging world bosses, this combat guide will help sharpen your skills and elevate your gameplay.
How does the Combat work in Run! Goddess?
In this section, we will be explaining there is to know about the combat mechanics in Run! Goddess. At it’s core, the game boasts a portrait oriented run ‘n’ dodge style of gameplay wherein waves of enemies and power-ups come towards you in a 3-lane system. Players can select their valkyries that they want to bring into battles beforehand. The combat happens in the main stages that are divided into multiple chapters in the world map. You can click on the challenge button located on the right-hand side to trigger the battles.
Keep in mind, the enemies and their difficulty scales according to the stage you are fighting. Players cannot repeat fight the stage they have already cleared. Instead, the quality and quantity of the idle rewards increases according to the stage you have cleared till now. These idle rewards are the main source of core resources such as Gold, EXP, and more. The combat is quite simple to learn and grasp. There will be different objects and enemies that can grant you power-ups and weapons for killing them. For example, the flaming barrels can explode and deal damage to enemies when you keep hitting them.
Players can view the HP of their valkyries at the bottom hand of the menu. At the top, there is also a timer in the red that denotes how much time you have to clear the stage. Further, you can even use your valkyries active skills as they gain energy to use them when killing more enemies. This can be triggered by manually clicking on their portrait icon on the bottom bar. Once you clear stage 2-4, the ability to auto-battle unlocks that leaves no room for manual play. All in all, the game is highly stat based and if your valkyries are strong enough, they can easily carry you through multiple chapters. Team composition matters a lot in Run! Goddess.
Building a Balanced Team in Run! Goddess
Building a balanced team in Run! Goddess is much easier than it looks. Yes, the amount of valkyries you are given at the start are fairly low but you can summon via the gacha system to get more valkyires. Each valkyrie in the game is assigned one out of 3 classes:
- Tank – These valkyries are quite bulky and possess excellent HP and Defense stats. They can easily absorb damage and should be placed in the frontlines. While many of these tanks can absorb damage, some can even act as secondary supporters and provide buffs or debuffs for allies/enemies.
- DPS – As the name itself might suggest, these valkyries are hard hitters. Their only goal is to deal as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time. Having at least 2 or 3 of these vakyries is ideal in any team or else you might lack enough damage to defeat the multiple hordes of enemies.
- Supports – Support type valkyries often make the backbone of any team. Many supportive valkyries can heal allies, deal damage in the form of debuffs, or paralyze targets with large AOE crowd-control abilities. In short, these valkyries can change the tide of the battle in your favour with their abilities.
Gain Better Quality of Equipment from the Armory Box
For those unaware, you can equip different types of equipment to your valkyries. While some equipment are given as rewards via events and main story stage clears, others are mostly grinded out of the Armory Box. This is the big menu that is located on the bottom right-hand side. The Armory Box can be upgraded to give out better quality of equipment. These equipments can be directly compared and equipped to each valkyrie to boost their CP (Combat Power). Each equipment provides different types of stats that can enhance the value of each valkyrie. Players can choose to either manually use bullets and roll the armory box, or auto-roll.
Players can enjoy playing Run! Goddess on a bigger screen of their PC or Laptop via BlueStacks along with your keyboard and mouse.
